That was a terrible game, I didn't even have any bonuses for most of the game, but it still took like thirty turns to kill me. I still got into every continent except for Australia. I lost and retook Africa three times. Things were just chaos.

How much of this game do you guys think is luck? Like I thought I had it going pretty good at the beginning, I was planning on taking South America, and then Africa, and having +5 bonus really early on. And then it didn't work.

Yeah it was back and forth for probably 75% of the game over Russia/North American and a lot in Europe. I had the Europe bonus like three separate times before Anna and John kept getting to India. I had Australia really early on, but it's only 2 bonus points. I started out with too many other people in a country so I didn't dominate it.
